Some of the topics covered are:
• Do the prophets come under the definition of Melchizedekian Priesthood?
• Will the Levitical Priesthood be reactivated during the Millennium?
• Speaking in legal terms, are we talking about an addendum to the original contract/Covenant?
• If we are to one day become priests, would that be in the Melchizedekian Priesthood?
• What’s wrong with the Melchizedekian doctrine that some are teaching today?
• Should “newbies” study the covenants?

… and much more!

Afterburn: also known in the world of fitness as the “afterburn effect”, simply put; The more intense the exercise, the more oxygen your body consumes afterward.

The same could be true as you build up your spiritual self. After an intense teaching session, you need answers as more thoughts and questions consume you in your spiritual growth.

Rabbi Steve Berkson, director of MTOI, provides an opportunity for the Afterburn to take place by additional thoughts and insight about what he just taught as well as answering questions from the local congregation and those watching the live stream.

Moving into the letter to the Hebrews chapters 7-9, a comparison or contrast of not only the two priesthoods, Levitical and Melchizedekian, begins to be made, but also a comparison of the two temples–earthly and heavenly.

Then, arriving at the key verse that has to do with the Covenant, 7:22, Rabbi Steve Berkson proposes a better, more understandable translation and interpretation of the Greek behind the English.

Rabbi Berkson points out a significant revelation regarding the thought that the Torah and Covenant was “weak” and “earthly” which is that they were not what was weak or earthly, but rather, it was the human-beings that were operating within the Torah and Covenant. You will not hear that on a Sunday!

If you’ve ever been told that the Book of Hebrews is just too hard to understand, then you definitely should watch this episode. Rabbi Berkson breaks down verse by verse, passage by passage, passionately relating the revealed meanings so that you understand and benefit.

Questions:
• What does New York pizza have to do with the Covenant?
• What are the “necessary adjustments” that were made regarding the two priesthoods?
• How can Messiah Yeshua serve as a High Priest since He is not of the correct lineage?
• The Torah cannot perfect anything?
• In what way was the Torah (Law) “weak”?
• In what way is the “new covenant” better? Better than what?
• Verse 28 talks about an “oath” relating to the Torah–in what proximity was this oath?
• Why are some words in the Bible italicized?
• Some say that because we don’t have a Levitical Priesthood in place today, tithing is no longer necessary–is this true?

Some of the topics covered are:
• More thoughts on how you are the tiller of the ground
• Is the Melchizedekian Priesthood higher in authority than the Levitical Priesthood?
• What is the “Heavenly Gift” mentioned in Hebrews 6:4?
• Heros and victims

Continuing the journey in the Book of Hebrews towards the key verse, chapter 7, verse 22, where it talks about Messiah Yeshua being a guarantor of a “better covenant”, Rabbi Steve Berkson begins this episode in chapter 6 to provide more context building up to the understanding of The Covenant.

Picking up from where he left off in the last episode, 6:4-6, Rabbi Berkson finds a nugget of gold in verses 7-8 as it talks about ground, rain, plants and tilling, which leads him to John 15 and Matthew 13 as they connect with those things and how they relate and apply to our own lives.

Then, moving on through chapter 6, we look at “eagerness vs. sluggishness” and how it relates to belief and patience. Rabbi Berkson coins a phrase “eagerness shift”. Have you experienced this in your walk?

If you’ve ever been told that the Book of Hebrews is just too hard to understand, then you definitely should watch this episode. Rabbi Berkson breaks down verse by verse, passage by passage, passionately relating the revealed meanings so that you understand and benefit.

Questions:
• Hebrews 6:7-8, what is the ground and who does the tilling?
• Why would Yeshua tells his disciples to “stay in Him”?
• What happens to “thorns and thistles” or a branch that is no longer a part of the tree?
• John 15:11, has joy been done away with?
• Who is the “Tiller of the Ground”?
• What is an “eagerness shift”?
• Hebrews 6:19 talks about an “anchor of the life”–what does an anchor do?

In the last episode Rabbi Steve Berkson unpacked more of the nuances of being in covenant by diving into the letter to the Hebrews, the Book of Hebrews. He moved at record pace going through the first four chapters in one setting.

Now we understand and should try to relate to the First-Century audience as the author of the letter makes the case for Messiah Yeshua’s place in the “big picture” and in the lives of the individuals as their standard of lifestyle was about to go away–the destruction of the Temple by the Romans and the suspension of the Aaronic/Levitical priesthood.

With that said we now go into chapter five where the author explains the differences between the Aaronic/Levitical priesthood and the Melchizedekian priesthood.

Then from chapter five Rabbi Steve touches on chapter six where we see a passage that has perplexed many, verses 4 through 6, specifically the word ‘impossible’. Does the passage tell us that some are doomed to destruction with no return?

If you’ve ever been told that the Book of Hebrews is just too hard to understand, then you definitely should watch this episode. Rabbi Berkson breaks down verse by verse, passage by passage, passionately relating the revealed meanings so that you understand and benefit.

Questions:
• If Messiah Yeshua takes on the role of High Priest (Heb 3:1) and does not qualify for the Aaronic - Priesthood, how can He be in that role?
• What “perfected” Messiah Yeshua? What do we struggle with?
• How does one become “dull of hearing”? What does it mean to be “dull of hearing”?
• What are “dead works”?

This exciting episode begins the letter to the Hebrews. The goal of going through this letter is to get to chapter 7 and verse 22 where it speaks of Yeshua being the guarantor of a “better covenant”. What does this mean and hasn’t it caused a lot of trouble due to mainstream Christianity’s interpretation of this verse? But, in order to do that, Rabbi Steve Berkson starts us on the journey from the beginning of the letter in order to understand, through context, what the author is saying leading up to chapter 7.

Questions:
• Why was the letter to the Hebrews written? What was going on at that time?
• What happens when the structure of your way of life no longer exists?
• Where does Messiah Yeshua fit into the picture of what was happening at that time?
• What perishes and what remains?
• Does the letter to the Hebrews talk about transitioning to a different set of laws?
• Hebrews 4:10 talks about resting from one’s own works–what could this mean?
